the accumulative roll bonding process is used as a severe plastic deformation technique to produce aluminum composite sheets with ultra fine structure. in this study the effect of simultaneous use mg and sic particles as reinforcements, on the tensile properties of the al-mg-sic hybrid compositeis studied. the al-mg-sic hybrid composites with different amounts of mg and sic contents were fabric...

Materials with specific nanometric layers are of great value in both theoretical and applied research. The nanometric layer could have a significant influence on the response to the mechanical loading. In this paper, the nanometric cutting on the layered systems of silicon has been studied by molecular dynamics. This kind of composite structure with amorphous layer and crystalline substrate is ...

in this research the influence of adding sic on microstructure and electrical properties of zno-based nanocomposite varistors were investigated. sic was added with amounts of 10-0 mass% to zno-based varistor composition. it is found that sic allows reaching to high threshold voltage with formation of fine-grained zno.another important effect of adding sic is formation zn2sio4 (willemite) on the ...

A systematic investigation of structural, mechanical, anisotropic, and electronic properties of SiC₂ and SiC₄ at ambient pressure using the density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation is reported in this work. Mechanical properties, i.e., the elastic constants and elastic modulus, have been successfully obtained. The anisotropy calculations show that SiC₂ and SiC₄ are both...

This contribution highlights and compares some recent achievements in the use of k-space and real space imaging (scanning probe and wide-filed microscope techniques), when applied to a luminescent color center in diamond, known as nitrogen vacancy (NV) center. These techniques combined with the optically detected magnetic resonance of NV, provide a unique platform to achieve nanometric magnetic...

Nanometric cutting involves materials removal and deformation evolution in the surface at nanometer scale. At this length scale, atomistic simulation is a very useful tool to study the cutting process. In this study, large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with the model size up to 10 millions atoms have been performed to study three-dimensional nanometric cutting of copper. The EAM pot...

The Si-coated SiC (Si-SiC) composite nanoparticle was prepared by non-transferred arc thermal plasma processing of solid-state synthesized SiC powder and was used as a sintering additive for SiC ceramic formation. Sintered SiC pellet was prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) process, and the effect of nano-sized Si-SiC composite particles on the sintering behavior of micron-sized SiC powder ...

The optical response of a plasmonic gapantenna is mainly determined by the Coulomb interaction of the two constituent arms of the antenna. Using rigorous calculations supported by simple analytical models, we observe how the morphology of a nanometric gap separating two metallic rods dramatically modifies the plasmonic response. In the case of rounded terminations at the gap, a conventional set...
